3. The only problem I see is with raising unrealistic and fantasy-driven expectations. She will not be our party's nominee.

And, sadly, if enough people end up being convinced and sold a bill of goods that she is somehow "destined" to "save the party" because of her orator skills and sincerity... in the end, when she does not win the nomination... those folks will (if history is any indicator) want to "punish" the party, or they'll just be so disillusioned that they do not show up at all. Sound familiar? We need to nominate someone who can win more hearts and votes than just the New England activists and coastal liberals. Elections are national, she she does not have the ability to attract enough votes (nationally) to win a nomination or a national election. Sorry, I'm just being real here. Leave her where she is. Let her make a good case for our party's EVENTUAL actual nominee. I can go for that. I hope you can too.
